MMA opinion: Why Arman Tsarukyan isn’t fighting for a belt

In any other era, Arman Tsarukyan’s dominance over the lightweight division would be inevitable. But his antics outside the cage have cost him dearly, and his future remains uncertain.

Sports News Blitz writer Ollie Hughes discusses the uncertain future of one of the lightweight division’s most talented fighters.

Bringing a complete style that incorporates short throws, well-timed takedowns, and strong striking fundamentals, combined with sheer athleticism, Arman Tsarukyan is a problem for anyone at 155lb.

And yet, as the lightweight title picture continues to shift around him, he remains just outside it. Not quite ignored, but never fully embraced by the UFC marketing machine.
